Drudge Posts A Picture of Hillary Clinton With Squinted Eyes, Says She’s ‘Feeling Japanese'
Hillary Clinton is breaking from tradition by making her first overseas trip as Secretary of State to Asia. She is expected to stop in China, Japan, South Korea, and likely somewhere in Southeast Asia. Last month, Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that she was particularly interested in visiting Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country and the place where President Obama spent part of his childhood.

Today, Drudge prominently links to an AP story about Clinton’s trip. Here’s his photo and caption highlighting the story:



Drudge seems to have deliberately chosen a picture of Hillary that hints at Asian stereotypes — slanted eyes, arched eyebrows, and prominent teeth — to pair with the caption that she’s “feeling Japanese.”

7. I think that would bring more attention to this -never was Walter Winchell wannabe-.
Not that his racist ass doesn't deserve to get called out.

3. Straight up RACISM!! Jackasses...
This is how racist tactics work now. They make a reference that would normally be considered innocent while in fact there is a double meaning behind. This falls along the lines of, "You speak so well." All Blacks have experienced at one point in life or another.

4. Drudge is self-destructing, just like the rest of the Repugs.
I knew this day would come. They are all taking themselves down and making themselves more irrelevant every day.

9. Drudge seems to hate Hillary more than other Democrats
I don't know why, but he seems a little obsessive in his hatred of her. It's pretty sad actually.

12. Well, we can't exactly tell what she's doing with that other hand.
That's an obscure reference.

I really think so.
